## AnnApp README

AnnApp (Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) - based approximative modeling) is an application for exploring approximations based on artificial neural networks. It is available as freeware. The users can create the ANN-based models by training neural networks with the provided data, and then explore the response of various models based on artificial neural networks.

The system has been designed and developed by Igor Grešovnik and Tadej Kodelja, and is based on the Investigative Generic Library (IGLib). For more information, check the software home page at

## External Libraries

This software depends on a number of external free open source libraries. Authors of the code are grateful to all developers that invested their work to develop these libraries and who made them open and accessible to the public.

The following external libraries are used:

- Math.Net Numerics, an excellent scientific library written entirely in C#, development lead by Christoph Rüegg. Created by merging two predecessor libraries, the Math.Net Iridium and the dnAnalytics.
- Math.Net, a scientific library written entirely in C#. Iridium and Neodym libraries were used from this project before Iridium merged with dnAnalytics into Math.Net Numerics. Now the latter library is used.
- ZedGraph, a flexible charting library for .NET.
- NPlot, an easy to use 2D plotting library.
- Activiz, C# wrappers for the VTK 3D graphics library.
- Aforge.Net, a framework library for development of neural network-based application.
- Accord.Net, an extension of the Aforge.Net framework.

Please visit the home pages of these great libraries (just follow the links above) and consider whether you can support their development in some way. Check also the license agreements for these referenced libraries for precise conditions for using the libraries.
